(Up for Adoption) Johnson the Murkrow

Posts : 2 Poké : 0 Join date : 2017-04-02

» Name: Johnson Hailey
» Sex: Male
» Gender: Male
» Species: #198 Murkrow- The Darkness Pokemon
» Affiliation: Wanderer. Currently at Grassveil.

» Level: 5
» Energy: 17 BE+5 levels=22
» Ability: Prankster:Non-damaging moves have priority.
» Moves:
- Peck(Level 1) Johnson stabs at his enemy with his beak.
- Astonish(Level 1)A weak surprise attack. It may make his enemy flinch, but it doesn't do much damage.
- Pursuit(Level 5) Functions as normal attack, but does twice the damage if an enemy is retreating.
- Psycho Shift(Egg move) Cures John's status effect, and projects that status effect onto an enemy.

» Natural Feats:
-Prankster: Johnson's Psycho Shift hits before his foe's attack. He can pull off non-attacking moves faster then he can attack.

» Personality:
John is a very shy bird. Disliking eye contact, he often angles his head in such a way that his eyes can't be seen. Because he doesn't speak very much, pokemon tend to assume that he is mysterious, and untrustworthy: that he might have something up his sleeve. However, it's likely he just really just doesn't know what to say. He gets flustered very easily, especially when talking to strangers. It's revealed that he is no cool-headed stranger soon after he opens his beak. While he's by himself, he's very relaxed, leading an aimless lifestyle.
Johnson doesn't like meeting new people, but he values friends very highly. He struggles to make friends, and often shies away from pokemon trying to befriend him at first. Those who persist and put in the effort of befriending him will find a loyal and friendly companion. He isn't the type to seek friends of his own, but may attempt to befriend other introverted pokemon. If Johnson feels like he's offended a pokemon, and that he isn't wanted, he will try his very hardest to disappear.
He has a moral set typical of any well-fed village pokemon. He dislikes the sight of pokemon in pain, and will try to help. Complex moral quandaries don't sit well with him: they confuse him, then he simplifies the situation and makes a decision based on that. If he has a complaint, he won't word it unless the situation is dire. Leans towards more samaritan actions.

» Likes:

>Johnson really likes shiny objects. It's possible that he'll trade items that would help him in a dungeon for a very shiny scarf. He struggles to sell or trade them, and will melodramatically mourn their loss like a friend. Yes, he even might cry: it's a murkrow thing. However, if he gives the item to a friend, an act of extreme gratitude, he won't be bothered at all by losing it.

>He likes snuggles, or other forms of physical comfort. He likes perching on friends: partially because he's too lazy to walk, and partially because he finds the contact very relaxing.

>Johnson feels most comfortable sleeping in trees. He dislikes sleeping on the floor, or in a bed. He's okay with sleeping on perches, though he doesn't like them as much as he likes trees.

>Johnson loves having friends, but isn't uncomfortable with loneliness. He's fine with spending long periods of time on his own, and being by himself. If it suits him best, he may grow into a loner.

» Dislikes:
>Johnson isn't easily trusting, and won't be too bothered by a stranger lying to him, though it will get him down. If lied to or betrayed by a friend, however, Johnson will very upset, and possibly never trust that person again.

>Because of his short crow legs, Johnson finds walking long distances uncomfortable. He's alright with flying for a while, but struggles to start and stop. It's easiest for him to perch on the shoulder of a teammate.

>Johnson dislikes rock type pokemon. He thinks that they're weird, and is kind of afraid of them. What a racist. Of course, this might change.

» History:
Johnson was happily raised along with 2 sisters by a Xatu and a Honchcrow. He also has an older stepbrother, but has never met him. As a child, his Natu sisters liked to tease him with reports of his future, that were sometimes false and sometimes true. He became adept at finding shiny treasures, and appeased the sisters with them. Because he was so shy, he was kinda ignored by his parents as a kid. He was kinda alright with that though, because he had valuable friends.
Not having any particular goal in mind, John left home as an older teen. As of now, he is unaffiliated and looking for a place in life. He's hoping make a living finding shiny things and selling them to merchants.

» Other:
>John wears a shiny little gold ribbon tied around his right foot. He can pick up his leg to hide it.
>Johnson has an excellent oratory memory, and can remember both sounds he's heard before, and noises he's heard. He can then repeat these noises, like a foley, and sometimes does so for comedic effect.
>Murkrow's base stat total is 405, for my own reference.

Administrator's note: The information below is the progress made by the original RPer that could not be edited into the bio template (Items and threads.) Any prospective adopters may want to look through the threads linked below to see if any are open and the relationships this character had with other before filling out an adoption application.

Sorry, your Character Bio cannot be approved due to the following reasons:

1.) VERY BOLD OF YOU

A significant portion of this application is written within the "bold" code of the template. Your own writing isn't supposed to be bolded; that's just for the category titles. Fix that.

2.) ENERGY

May wanna double-check your math.

3.) NATURAL FEATS

...No.

The murkrow in the games that mocks voices like a parrot was a very specific murkrow that was presumably trained to mimic noises, and no other murkrow have been shown as able to do such things.

Murkrow do not appear to have any particular skill for spotting valuables; they simply like shiny things. Even if that weren't the case, you most certainly would not be allowed to gain extra poké or items off of it.

Natural feats are meant to simply be natural skills or powers a pokemon may have, most commonly mentioned in Pokédex entries. Murkrow does not appear to have any. Ability descriptions also go in this section, so get rid of the current feats and give a brief description of his ability.

4.) OTHER

Uh... why did you decide to put Murkrow's base stat total here? That isn't really something you need to put anywhere. The "Other" section is for miscellaneous things about your character's personality, appearance and such, not stats from the games.

And to answer your question, you keep track of your money using the "Poké" amount shown right on your profile. You can see it by going to any post made by you, or by going to your profile.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message any of the Secretaries. May it be through the Chatbox or through Private Messaging, we will tend to your concerns as soon as we can. Please fix your bio accordingly so that we may be able to approve it. Once you have completed your edits, either bump this thread or message us.

Sorry, your Character Bio cannot be approved due to the following reasons:

1.) BE BOLD

You seem to have misunderstood me. The bold code is supposed to be there. You're just not supposed to write inside of it. The category titles are supposed to be bolded, while your own writing is not.

2.) NATURAL FEATS

Your character does not know Mirror Move, so why is it mentioned here?

3.) SAY SOMETHING

Bump the thread or message me when you're finished editing. Applications that are not bumped generally go unchecked, so be wary of that. I will not check your application again without a proper notification that it has been updated.

I accidentally added mirror move in there because it was part of an earlier phase of his character, and I forgot I changed that. :0
Bump!
